How to host your website on linux

Today I am going to show you on “How to host your website on Linux VPS (WordPress).”

The reason why we are going to host your website onLinux VPS is because they have more stability and reliability for basic web hosting needs, more control compared to shared hosting, cost effective solutions for small website, assured 99.95% uptime (depends upon your VPS providers) and lot of features.

Buying a VPS from RamNode:

We need to choose a Linux VPS depending upon the traffic your website gonna receive. Here is the link where I brought my VPS from:

Income Traffic 0-750 views/day: Plan 1Income Traffic 750-2k views/day: Plan 2Income Traffic 2k-5k views/day: Plan 3Income Traffic 5k+ views/day: I request you to switch VPS provider since I don’t recommend RamNode VPS for more than 5k views/day, reason is they only provide 1GB connection speed.



After few minutes you will receive the VPS details.



After buying a VPS continue the steps given below. If you have any doubts do not hesitate to comment below or if you already got a VPS then just follow the steps.WordPress will be my Control Management System to access the website.

Buying a domain and configure it:

You can buy a domain from godaddy.com or any place where you like to

After getting it, in DNS management you have to change type to “A” and enter the domain name and the VPS IP

Example:



By changing DNS settings it will allow your domain to point to your VPS Server.

Setting up VPS:

Goto URL: https://vpscp.ramnode.com and install“Debian 7 32-bit”. It will only take few minutes.

Download Putty and run it. Add your VPS IP and connect to your VPS though Putty. After that enter “username” and “password“.

Enter the following commands in the give order:

1. Update and update debian:

Code:

apt-get update apt-get upgrade

2. Install nginx, php5 and mysql:

Code:

apt-get install nginx php5-fpm mysql-server

 

3. Download WordPress CMS: (replace example.com with your website name)

Code:

cd /var/www/ mkdir example.com cd example.com wget http://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz tar vxzf latest.tar.gz rm latest.tar.gz

 

4. Configuring mysql

Code:

mysql -u root -p (press enter and then it will ask you to enter the password for mysql which you used when you install mysql-server)

 

5. Creating database and granting access to it:

Code:

create database example; (replace example with any name you wish) grant select, delete, create, alter, update, drop, insert, index on example.* to ‘example’@’localhost’ identified by ‘Enteranypasswordwhichyouwanthere’; (Once done press enter and then ctrl + c to exit)

 

6. Changing WordPress config.php file:

Code:

cd /var/www/example.com/wordpress cp wp-config-smaple.php wp-config.php vim wp-config.php (after opening the file, change your database details and save it)

 

7. Setting up nginx file:

Code:

cd~ cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/ vi example.com.vhost (rename example.com with your domain name)

 

Now press “Insert” button and type the following command:

Code:

server { listen 80; root /var/www/example.com/wordpress; index index.php index.html index.htm; server_name example.com www.example.com; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; } error_page 404 /404.html; error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/www; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } }

Note: Change server_name with your domain name and root /var/www/example.com/wordpress with your domain name or the folder name that you gonna use.

Once done save the file, press ESC + : + x (to save and exit)

8. Enabling the vhost file:

Code:

cd .. cd sites-enabled/ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.vhost

 

Everything is done now. Just type “service nginx restart” and visit your domain now. It should be working fine.

Note: Make sure you change “example.com” to your domain name in each place that I have mentioned “example.com”

If you want to upload any file to your server then use “FileZilla Client” as file manager by connecting to your server using IP , USERNAME, PASSWORD and PORT

Perform cmd death attack

 A ping packet can also be malformed to perform denial of service attack by sending continuous ping packets to the target IP address. A continuous ping will cause buffer overflow at the target system and will cause the target system to crash.  We often use the CMD command “Ping” to mostly check if a server or a gateway is up and running. But, ping command can also be used for some other purposes. If we look at the basic level, then a ping packet is generally of size 56 bytes or 84 bytes (including IP header as well). However, a ping packet can also be made as large as up to 65536 bytes. Well, that’s the negative side of the ping packet. When we increase the size of the ping packet unnaturally, forming a malformed ping packet to attack a computer system, this type of attack is called “Ping of death” attack. How Ping of Death attack works? Not all computers can handle data larger than a fixed size. So, when a ping of death packet is sent f...

In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
